No More Pop-Ups

Too many pop-ups and extortion-ware? My company had a lot of problems too. We learned that most of the spy ware is based in Internet Explorer. We found a free and easy cure:
1-run adaware and/or spybot to clean up your computer
2-do a google search for Mozilla
Mozilla has a free alternative to IE called Firefox. It will copy all of your IE settings but works differently than IE. This ended our issues since the spyware is waiting for IE to be run. If your problems get really bad, use Mozilla's firewall or use another good and free firewall by Zone Labs called zonealarm.
This allows me to be a happy camper surfing the net for audio gear:)

I'll second Mozilla, seems to do everything IE does, except its just easier and better... Try this:

http://www.mozilla.org

I will confess, however, that I seem to have some authentication issues with certain sites. Other than that...
